THERMOSTATIC PROTECTION
This welder is automatically protected from overheating by a thermal overload cut out protec-
tor. If the transformer overheats the overload cut out protector will activate and cut off. The
amber light will illuminate to show that the cut out has operated.
After cooling the protector will reconnect the supply circuit and the welder will be ready for
further use.
NOTE: If the duty cycle of the machine is exceeded the thermostatic protection will activate.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Before starting any cleaning, or maintenance procedures on
the welding machine, make sure that it is switched Off and
disconnected from the mains supply.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the welder. Refer to qualified service personnel if
any internal maintenance is required.
Switch off the welding machine and disconnect it from the power supply before replacing con-
sumable torch parts. Allow to cool before handling.
After use, allow the welder to cool down and then remove any unconsumed wire from the
torch and torch hose by releasing the tension screw and rotating the reel in an anti-clockwise
direction.
TORCH
Do not put the torch or its cable on hot work pieces; this would cause the insulating materials
to melt, making the torch unusable.
Every time the wire reel is changed, clean out the wire-guide and check the wire liner for
build up of dust and other contaminants. This increases friction and can lead to erratic wire
feed and jamming. Replace when necessary.
Daily: Check the wear and correct assembly of the consumable parts at the end of the torch;
swan neck, nozzle, contact tip. Replace when necessary.
WIRE FEEDER
Make frequent checks on the state of wear of the wire feed rollers, regularly remove the
metal dust deposited in the feeder area (rollers and wire-guide in-feed and out- feed)
OTHER
Make sure that the earth clamp is kept clean and in good working order.
Keep the cooling vents clear and clean the outer casing with a soft cloth.
